The Little Book of Ikigai by Ken Mogi – visual synopsis by Dani Saveker

The Japanese term IKIGAI comprises of two words; IKI meaning TO LIVE and GAI meaning WITH REASON. The Little Book of Ikigai is a compact and easy to follow explanation of the 5 pillars of Ikigai:

Start Small

Release Yourself

Harmony and Stability

Joy in the Little Things

Be in the Here and Now

With lovely stories from Japanese culture, this book encourages you to embrace each precious moment knowing it will come and go. A personal favourite gem is this: “the greatest secret of Ikigai is acceptance of self”. How true this is!
